Style File - Jean Shrimpton

NOT only a true Sixties style icon, Jean Shrimpton has been credited with some monumental fashion firsts - she has been dubbed one of the first supermodels, one of the first to launch the mini skirt and one of David Bailey's first muses.

Born in 1942, her career took off when she met Bailey in 1960 while he was shooting for British Vogue and she was working with photographer Brian Duffy in a neighbouring studio. Bailey quickly took a shine to the model, booking her for a string of jobs and starting a four-year relationship that would last until 1964.

In those four years, the pair worked together to create endless iconic images and their respective statuses soared. The period of their relationship has been immortalised in a BBC drama, We'll Take Manhattan, with Karen Gillan taking on the role of Jean.
